Q.1
Mortar is a paste of cement and sand prepared using the water for the hydration. Sand acts as the main matrix element in mortar.
Cement is rarely used individually, it is used as a binder both in mortar or concrete.
Q.2
Curing is process of periodic application of water to the concrete or mortar walls or surfaces from the time they are placed on site. It is nedded for the hydration of the mix and thereby let the chemical reactions happen in cement so as to strengthen the concrete. Water is very necessary for the hydration of the cement so as to reach the ultimate strength.
Q.3
Hydration of the cement involves a chemical reaction which helps the cement act as a binder and gain the strength and a solid form.
Q.4
Aggregates occupy the maximum space in concrete and therefor they must bear the applied stresses (crushing, compacting and abrasion) effectively. They form the main matrix of the mix.

An experiment to compare the tension bond strength of polymer latex modified mortar (Portland cement mortar to which polymer latex emulsions have been added during mixing) to that of unmodified mortar resulted in x = 18.12 kgf/cm2 for the modified mortar (m = 40) and y = 16.87 kgf/cm2 for the unmodified mortar (n = 32). Let ?1 and ?2 be the true average tension bond strengths for the modified and unmodified mortars, respectively. Assume that the bond strength distributions...
